    For a welterweight fight? Good Christ. He's the size of a light-heavy in the early 1900's.

    Clottey does not have a relentlesss work rate his pace is just comfortable enough for Cotto to catch his breath and continue to do his thing. Margo big welter, granite chin, relentless workrate = Cotto loss. Hey this formula doesnt work with every big welter, you guys have to think about it. Clotteys best chance is to catch Cotto with something significant and thats his best chance . Its not an easy task Cotto is slick and can box. I favor Cotto by decision.

    Clottey has to get lucky and can but a Cotto decision has greater probability.

    I don't think we have seen Joshua at his best yet in all honesty. I think a lot of naysayers will be surprised in his next couple performances.

    I think Clottey could definitely out box him if he doesn't get sucked into a fire fight, because he IS the superior boxer on both the inside and outside and the only disadvantage that he really has is punching power and body punching, and i see that being negated by his defense. Definitely a fight i would want to see.

    I agree. I think he has far more potential then most give him credit for.
